9 .18.14 Now, As The Earth Repositions Itself In Its Orbit

Photo: Now, as the earth repositions itself in its orbit, and seemingly ,the sun appears lower-  
     as morning dawns, and the sunlight crests the mountain range, 
     spilling all of a moment, down through the forest and farther, across the conservation field- 
     the ravines suddenly alight; filling  the outwaters, The Connecticut. And finally , all of the land.     
     Now as this begins yet again, I remember other years past. 
     The ways of the land, no matter the awful human selfishness or greed or damage. 
     For, certain things shall remain, regardless of our excesses of wants, and our deficits of awareness and right-action. 
     Still, even when we are far and long gone from this place, the earth will turn. 
     Summer will evolve into winter. The sun will splash low across the horizon. 
     And regardless,  beauty and nature will reign.
